How Laser Dentistry Aliso Viejo, Laguna Hills & Laguna Woods Works

Like the name implies, our laser dentistry services use concentrated light beams to do the work that’s needed. Everything is safe and our dental practitioners are highly trained and skilled.

This technique goes all the way back to 1994 when it was first approved to be used in certain dental procedures. Since dental lasers have been in the mainstream for quite some time, this dentistry method has been used to treat a variety of different issues including:

• Fixing cavities. Skilled dental professionals have been able to use these lasers to remove the decayed part of the tooth. The technology is so precise, not as much of the healthy tooth needs to be removed resulting in less pain and discomfort for the patient. Of course, a huge benefit of this technique is the fact it doesn’t require any invasive technology like a traditional drill and can speed up recovery time after treatment.
• Treating gum disease. Our laser dentistry professionals are well-versed in reshaping the gums inflamed or infected from gingivitis and periodontitis. Once again, this is a very efficient procedure that doesn’t require invasive techniques. Lasers are extremely effective against bacteria that can develop from plaque and tartar buildup causing problems along the gum line.
• Teeth whitening. Lasers are commonly associated with cosmetic dental treatments. It’s important to remember this kind of modern technology is efficient. The bleaching solution that is applied to the teeth as a tooth whitening agent works well with this dental option.
